Caramel and Candy Apples

This one is for the kids…and for the kid in you. To kick it up a notch, you could dip your candy-coated apples in coconut flakes, finely chopped nuts, or even m&m’s if you want to be extra fancy.

P.S. be sure to have your dentist on speed dial, lol!!

Caramel Apples:

Ingredients:

6 medium golden apples

1 can sweetened condensed milk

Wooden skewers/popsicle sticks

Directions:

To make caramel, immerse unopened can of condensed milk in a pot of water and boil for about 2 hours. Make sure the water doesn’t dry out and the can is kept cover with water throughout the entire process.

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper

Insert skewers into the apples

Allow can to cool before opening, and then pour contents into a bowl.

Swirl apples in caramel until fully coated.

Place apples on cookie sheet and allow to set.

Candy Apples:

Ingredients:

6 medium red apples

1 cup sugar

½ cup water

Red food coloring

Wooden skewers/popsicle sticks

Directions:

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper

Insert skewers into the apples

Bring sugar and water to boil in a hard pot, stirring constantly until temps read 300 degrees on a candy thermometer.

Add a few drops of food coloring.

Quickly dip each apple in the syrup until fully coated. Swirl to allow excess to fall off.

Place on cookie sheet to cool.

Note: Always keep a close eye on the pot while making the syrup or it could burn. Be sure to dip the apples quickly before the candy hardens.
